Here, Vaux explained how, together with modern comfort, it was important to establish a pleasing relationship between a dwelling and its surroundings. In addition, he often wrote for leading journals about American architecture and its influence on society. He was a champion for tenement house reform through the development of modern apartment buildings which he billed as \u201cParisian Buildings\u201d to make them more socially acceptable across the classes. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">In his park designs, he brought to fruition Downing\u2019s notion that well-designed public spaces could be a source of moral and educational enlightenment for all.
